The 'When should I worry' leaflet is designed to provide parents with helpful advice on the self-management of common childhood illness and has been designed to be used in Primary Care consultations. It also provides additional advice around antibiotics and when to have your child assessed by a GP or nurse or what to do if the illness is severe.

This is for use for all children over 3 months old (please be aware that children under 3 months old who are unwell should always be assessed by a GP or nurse as they can respond differently to infections)

As with all advice, if after reading you are still worried about your child, please continue to seek advice via your GP, 111 or by calling 999 in an emergency.

As part of the NHS Highland physiotherapy service based in our GP practice, it’s important that we’re able to offer you support when you feel like you need it.

NHS Highland have introduced a new NHS self-referral service to help connect you to the right care, in the right place.

Phio is a clinically-supported, digital musculoskeletal (MSK) system. It is a free interactive online tool that quickly and accurately signposts you to the right pathway to support your MSK condition.

The Phio assessment takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and your answers will always be assessed by a qualified physiotherapy team. If your condition is deemed suitable, you will be invited to download an app on your smartphone with a programme of exercises tailored to your condition. You should receive this within 48 hours. Once you start, a team of physiotherapists are on hand to monitor and support you via a two-way chat.

This service is totally free, is overseen by the physiotherapy team at Phio, available to everyone aged 16 and over and will not impact your access to our other care services.

Suicide Bereavement Support Service, which is running across the Highland area.

The service is designed to help people who have lost a loved one to suicide. They provide compassionate and flexible support from immediately after a suicide, for as long as is needed.  They can provide support to both family members and friends and can help with emotional support and also practical matters.

They can also support families if a suicide has taken place in the past, but support is still required even a year or more later.
